Combat Today's Markets With The Unbalanced Condor

An Unbalanced Condor; this is a trade strategy that is not well known

. I'm sure it's been around for a while, but for some reason it hasn't caught on as popular. I've been studying options for numerous years now and took many popular courses that can be found on the internet. I spent nearly $50,000 on my options education, but I find it intriguing and a little misleading that most option courses don't teach this strategy.

Why has the Unbalanced Condor been lost? Why is this strategy unheard of? To me it's a little more obscure than the Broken Wing Butterfly, which is another strategy that most option traders don't know how to manage. I think the reason that these strategies are not so popular is because most traders want to make money really fast. The problem with this point of view is that this causes 99% of them to lose most of their money. Remember, making money fast usually equates to losing money faster. Let's look at a concept of making money slower and lowering our risk.

For example, how would you like to trade options in a circumstance where it's nearly impossible to lose money in one direction, and in the other direction, there is nearly a 100% guarantee that you will make money? Doesn't that sound ideal? And what if I told you that you can also make money on this trade if the market does not move? On paper this looks like the perfect strategy. It would seem there is no way to lose.

Well, it is possible to do lose something on this trade, and actually, you can lose quite a bit on this trade just like any other option strategy, but only if you do not know what you're doing. If you get too aggressive and try to make money too fast with it, you can also lose with it. The secret to the Unbalanced Condor is learning to be a patient trader. Once you master the patience and the simple adjustments that go along with this spread, then it's really hard to lose on this trade. I think you'll find that your worst-case scenario would result in about a 1 to 2% loss.

The bad news is that there are very few experts on this trading strategy. It's hard to find a specialist or mentor on this topic. To become proficient with it, you'll need to study it for months and even years to really get it down, but once you do, you'll be very happy that you invested the time. Now that I know how to use this strategy competently, I call it "The Revolver" since it's my weapon to defend me in any type of market.

To learn the ins and outs of this unsung strategy can really help improve your option trading. The first step to success with options is to control your risk, and by trading with Unbalanced Condors is one of the best ways you can ever do this. If you do your research, you just might find that this is the strategy you have been looking for over the years and never knew how to find it.
